What’s the latest on sticks?

I personally like the 4 Stable Sticks, I have the carbon fiber set. I can deploy them quickly, they are very light weight and easy to carry, and for me a much more stable platform to shoot from. Gina's preference is for the old tripod sticks that so many PH's in Africa swear by. We also own 2 sets of the Primus Trigger Sticks made famous by Jim Shockey, I like those to mount things on like a chronograph or spotting scope.

We have two pairs of Trigger Sticks because the old pair stick and don't slide very well.

The sticks my PH had were little more than three wooden dowels held together with nuts & bolts with a small leather patch to cushion the rifle against the hardware. They were wobbly at the hinge point and would likely scratch the finish on a rifle even with the leather. The other sticks he had were the non-working Primos Trigger sticks that I mentioned earlier.

I'm sure the wooden dowel sticks were adequate, but my wife and I were very happy that we brought the BOG-POD RLD-3's. Next trip we will be taking the Adrenaline sticks that collapse down to 60cm (less than 24") and weigh 1278 grams (2.8 lbs).

Anyone tried the bog pod death grip?

I used them on one hunt so not a big sample. I used them on gemsbok, blesbok and springbok.I was able to set my rifle in them while we went through the herds to find the right animal, they worked well especially on the gemsbok as we were looking at about 50 animals and all were fairly close in size and this was a free range herd and we were looking for only bulls.

Like to know if anyone out there with the Blaser Carbon Shooting Sticks 2.0 has a review of them. I think there are a few members who have them.

Like to include the total weight, fully collapsed length, fully extended length along with their opinion of how they like/dislike them.

After my experiences, these may be the only ones I'd consider purchasing.

They're similar to the Rudolph sticks we used at Nick Bowker's. The swivel forend attachment is a plus on the Blasers.

I just my my Blaser quad sticks a week ago. I haven’t hunted with them yet, but I’ve been practicing. The weight, quality, and sturdiness are fantastic, and the front swivel feature works as advertised. Complete quality, which is a plus, as they’re reasonably expensive.
